Aspies For Freedom

Max are you a doctor?  You don't even have Asperger's first accoreding to you and then from many others.  You have no authority to give people medical advice. Doctors are not only about meds but correct CBT.

You are a secondary school social studies teacher who for some odd reason wants to stay on an aspie board when he does not even has asperger's . Most your posts are about the World according to Max and you try to chase off anyone who disagrees according to MANY .

.  You have other disorders... list them.  I can help you find the appropriate boads   

As for me... I have a great report from several doctors... what are you afraid of Max?  Why do you fear doctors?  I have a good idea what your disorder challenges are.. but try to get to the point you will discuss them in public.  Telling people who have medical challenges not to seek professional help  is major  destructive.  

A few more points for the lost cause.

a) Most of the people who dislike your posts on these forums are officially diagnosed Aspies - not that it's relevant. Personally, I enjoy having some NT's around for a different perspective.

b) I believe most people on the forum will support people seeking psychiatric help for problems. What we don't support is ramming psychiatry down peoples throats every single post, or telling people to seek psychiatric help when they don't agree with you. People come here to share experiences, not to get contacts for psychiatrists.

c) The only reason you are getting any supportive PM's on these forums is that there's a lot of very sweet people who do not enjoy conflict. What many don't realise is that an offensive person can poison the forums to the extent that they are no longer enjoyable for others.

d) Finally, the reason I, personally, have a problem with you is that you seem to believe that Aspergers is nothing more than a problem that has to be dealt with - which is exactly what this board is about getting away from. I found the rarest of things here - a group of self-actualised, intelligent, creative, caring and generally amazing people that actually like who they are.

I'm writing this mostly for others reading along, as I believe Yetti is a lost cause. The only thing I can say to Yetti is to have a look at the curebie forums - you'll probably find people more like yourself there, and you'll actually be doing us a favour by disrupting them.

BTW Asperger's is a blessing from God. Not a problem

If you believe this, then please stop talking about it as a problem to be treated.

For me, finding this forum was about me wanting to learn about the person I am by sharing the experiences of others. I would have been mortified if someone had replied to me early on by saying "You have problems. Go to a psychiatrist".

This is the crux of the issue people have with you.

what other disorders do YOU have along with Aspergers?  The problem is that people are not treating other disorders they may have along with aspergers.. there is no treatment for aspergers!  There is nothing wrong with aspergers... There are methods for children to learn to live in an NT world.. You want to deny aspie children of this help?    

There is treatment for accompanying disorders which make life very difficult for aspies. There is therapy to help an aspie function in an NT world that does not understand our world and our heads.... this can make for a very difficult life especially in finding a job..

Again, I am not against psychiatry, I am only against it being rammed down peoples throats. If someone asks where they can find help for a particular issue, that's a good time to recommend a psychiatrist. If someone talks about cultural oddities, or about being uncomfortable in a particular social situation, telling them to "go see a psychiatrist" is not appropriate.

Here's one where you are suggesting people who disagree with you should see a psychiatrist.

And another:

Marike... my psychiatrist and therapists know me well.. It is not needed. Perhaps you yourself need to look into these.  BTw Harry Potter was too busy... we will wait. <G>

WHen was the last time you talked with a psychiatrist or Aspie speicalist?

Look up the word arrogance.  You are misusing it.   I think I just pushed the right buttons for yours to return.. that is all.

Now its attitude.. and yours?  You dissed long term marriages , you claimed I could not possibly have a great long term marriage you diagnosed me as manic depressive adn arrogant and should be on meds.. and where did you get your medical degree?  Or are you using me to talk to yourself?

I would suggest your work on yourself as well. I am not a therapist but I sense jealousy.  That is immature.  All this time you are addressing me when you stated you were helping Guess who ,who you think is in deep dark dispair and about to jump off a bridge or something unless you help him... now who is the rescuer type?

Perhaps you need to focus on you now... your short marriage and I have not seen your credentials have not asserted any merits of any response you give.  I do denote major jealousy.... but that is your problem if you insist on shadowing my posts... and want to diagnose me and tell me what you think of me.. and that is helping?  

IN all honesty I find your information very uneducated, lacking experience, insecure and demanding attention.  

Best wishes to having a long term marriage but then again you don't believe in them. Have u even read the articles?  Oh yes, those articles are by arrogant people thinking they are happy when YOU KNOW long term married people are not .. just arrogant that they think they are

And another, this time where you actually call self-diagnosed people predators:

Here's one where you recommend seeing a psychiatrist for no apparent reason:

...And then you actually go on to insult her for not seeing a psychiatrist:

Here you recommended Max see a psychiatrist for not agreeing with you:

...I think I've made my point.

Dont you think that the very idea of the Creators exisistance develops and grows the more you deny it?

I did not meen to be rude,it was just a bad choise of word.
So why dont you call your self an agnosist?
Remember,dont wanna be rude,just want to ask.

So that is the reason the Catholic Church used to forbid lay people from accessing the bible

Also because it meant that people had to go to church (and tithe) to find out how not to go to hell...

Perhaps they don't have time for idol chit-chat.

*grins* I just couldn't resist...

It's a reference to a famous quote - can't remember the original author, but the original bird was a white crow...

*grins* Something like that...

But seriously, I personally vote "no" on the god thing - I just don't discount the possibility, and I don't begrudge others from choosing it.

At least, I don't begrudge people choosing beliefs in higher powers that obey internal consistency - anything that doesn't make sense according to it's own rules is fair game.
